My Dad called it his 'air conditioned tree'. We spent many afternoons sitting beneath the branches, sipping on Manhattans, swapping stories of his time in the Marines and mine in the Navy.

I now have a less colorful version in my back yard. I never sit beneath those branches without thinking of Dad.
